Two Palestinians in their 20s were injured by Israeli gunfire in the southern Gaza Strip, despite the Egypt-mediated ceasefire agreement, which took effect on November 21 after eight days of Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said the Palestinians were shot by Israeli occupation troops on Monday as they walked near the border fence in southern Gaza.

Qudra stated that the shooting occurred near the fence to the east of the southern city of Rafah, which has been under an Israeli blockade for the past five years. He indicated that one man was shot in the arm and the other in the leg.
